Harrisburg Rally
Today, several of my fellow Colleges Against Cancer members and I attened a rally in Harrisburg. We spent the day at the capital talking to legislators about the Clean Indoor Air Bill. The bill simply states that it is illegal to smoke in restaurants, clubs, bars, etc. However, because of the extreme controversy that comes along with the bill, it is now in conference...which is not good. Many legislators are trying to add exemptions to the bill, saying that it would be okay to smoke in private establishments or casinos...the list goes on.
Students from all over Pennsylvania lobbied throughout the day and I believe that we truly made an impact. It was also nice to spend the day at the capital observing the beautiful art work and architecture. I know my friends and I had a lot of fun. It was nice to get away for a day to experience something new.
We are rapidly approaching Relay For Life so all of the final decorating and fundraising is being done. The event this year is going to be amazing. We have so much planned. I don't know if we will be able to cram it all in a 24 hour period!! Well, I better get to it. Take care!
